Real Friends Don't Let Friends..............

I felt the need to address something someone wrote about friendship......

*friends dont judge each other they accept each other and their faults*

I do understand to a point what they are saying , please don't get me wrong..friends are to be loved and charished and appreciated...having said that friends are also the ones we can care enough about, to step in and NOT ACCEPT SOME OF THEIR FAULTS...let me give some examples;

-had a friend not come to my aid and just let me do what Iwanted when I was 19 and stupidly try to commit suicide...I would be dead now.
-had I not sat a friend down and said,,WTF are u doing? your on a path of self distruction...and hurt for everyone around you! I do sincerely believe that person would be either dead or a shell of themselves today.....and has said asmuch.
-had I and countless other friends not removed the keys to the cars of our friends who had too much to drink...??? Wonder how many lives were spared because of it.
-had my best friend listened to my FORCED OPINION overcountless yrs about going to the doc and getting her pap test? SHE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY

I could come up with alot of general examples but these among others are my own personal ones......are they a manner of judging?Yes absolutely! If I thought a friend was in trouble by their own choice...would I try to help and be there to pick up the pieces? Yes absolutely! Do these subjects deal with FORCED OPINIONS on others? Yes they do...but then if we shouldn't ever do that....What would be of the forced opinions about the WOMAN'S RIGHT TO VOTE, ABOLISHING SLAVERY, BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS, APARTHEID, and many others....Aren't all of these things faught for and won, by ppl who forced their opinions on others? ....

I realize I have digressed somewhat from this persons original idea about friendship...but isn't it all somewhat related? I would pray that any friend of mine would CARE enough about me to call me on something I did...or am doing. I know that a stranger certainly wouldn't do it...............

As to this well i agree...But thats not what i read in chris's message. Who is anyone to say, just because you do what you do, you dont have morals. And because of that i dont want to talk to you. And because the message came out of the blue and passed just as a general comment. then the comment.. Dont talk to me.. shouldnt of been put in..thats not general.. its a point or fact.. but hell what would i know hey. Im just one of those ones he wont want to hear or listen too.

sighs and waits..

OK, Wombat, let me try to understand and reiterate....first u say "Who is anyone to say" referring to Chris' post then you go on to say
" because the message came out of the blue and passed just as a general comment. then the comment.. Dont talk to me.. shouldnt of been put in..thats not general.. its a point or fact"
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't u doing just that? Who are you to say how he should write his own text? We all have a right to our an opinion but aren't you contradicting yourself?...Now if you had read his post the way it was interpreted by most as a poem form with a repeating CHORUS ...DON'T TALK TO ME.... you may have not taken it so literally.
As for the rest , saying I am "cutting folks down" well..I guess its ok for you to comment on a comment but I shouldn't be able to do the same by commenting on your comment about another comment.....and then by my commenting on your comment , you inturn leave the group in a huff? ..ok, who exactly is "bytching" as u say? ...I may be wrong but could it be the dead horse?

Hey moon, I wouldn't ABOLISH SLAVERY, I would have changed it tho. Kept the men, all the men, LOL, as the slaves!!!Yeah baby. Sorry, I felt left out. Everyone else had something to say, so I had to add something. And this was the only thing that pooped into this head at the time. Yeah i put pooped and not popped. I agree with you about not excepting faults. Just wanted to let you know that. My husband is faulty !! and I'm not accepting any of his. LOL
